Glenshee stakes its claim as Scotland’s most extensive ski area with more than 25 miles (40 km) of downhill runs. Reach it by the A93 south from Braemar. These ski grounds sit astride the summit of the highest public road in the UK, some 2200 feet above sea level. The Lecht is a more compact centre, focussed on families, ideal for beginners, with Tomintoul (highest village in the Highlands) as the nearest centre.
